Abbas and Assad meet in Damascus

2009-06-20 (Saturday), Ya Libnan
Damascus : The Palestinian News Agency WAFA reported that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met today, with his Syrian counterpart President Bashar Al-Assad, upon his arrival to the Syrian capital, Damascus.

According to WAFA " The meeting comes within the policy of coordination and consultation President Abbas is conducting with our Arab brothers, concerning the current developments on both, Palestinian and Arab aspects. Also, it aims at briefing them on the results of President Abbas' meetings with US President Barack Obama, in an attempt to come up with a united Arab position especially after Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech and the conditions he put in the face of the peace process."
